Man in the Middle:
Tomorrow afternoon’s game will be officiated by Robert Lewis.
He has officiated 12 matches this season with his latest a 0-0 draw between Port Vale and Oldham Athletic in Sky Bet League Two.
This season, he has dished out 50 yellow cards and three red card.
In the professional refereeing ranks, Lewis last refereed a Bolton Wanderers fixture in February 2016, where Wanderers lost 3-2 against Brighton and Hove Albion.
Steven Rushton and Paul Newhouse will act as his assistants, with Paul Graham the fourth official for tomorrow afternoon’s fixture.
Key Man for the Pilgrims – George Cooper:
When looking at the Plymouth Argyle side, 23-year-old George Cooper is the main man leading the line for Ryan Lowe’s side.
The midfielder has got three assists in Sky Bet League Two for the Pilgrims and is an influential member of the team.
On loan from Peterborough, it is clear to see why Posh signed the midfield maestro to a three-and-a-half-year deal in January 2018 for an undisclosed fee.
